Sony Handycam DCR-TRV255 ... provide users with their first experience of a digital camcorder and video editing on a PC. It comes bundled with Picture Package - a new and extremely intuitive way of creating movies on Video CD. Targeted at the beginner, this solution-oriented package does away with the need for complex video editing software on the computer. The simple process starts with the user choosing a music track, then the video (one sequence or the full tape) from the camera. Confirming the selection makes the software start burning a movie to VideoCD using the computer's CD recorder. The result is a professional looking video that has been automatically edited to match the music and which benefits from the automatic addition of special effects between the scenes. Output directly to VideoCD for widespread distribution, the new movie can be played in most PCs or domestic DVD players. The cameras also take advantage of USB connectivity to provide high speed transfer of e-movies and digital pictures to a PC, either to burn to a CD or for use in Web streaming applications.

For beginners, an Easy Handycam button on the cameras now provides a one-step solution for ease of use. This new and unique Sony function simplifies the choice of menu features, displaying a limited set of commands on the LCD screen in large, easy to read characters. With almost all settings on automatic, the user is presented with only the commands necessary for basic camera operation, making learning to shoot video even easier. Users can return to the normal function Regular Mode by simply pressing a single button, making these cameras perfect for both beginners and more advanced users.

If you're looking for your first Digital Camcorder and want decent quality. Here's one to seriously Consider! I needed a Camcorder that was useful for Work and Home! The TRV-255E is a 0 lux (no light needed at all), Night-Vision (Infra-Red) equipped unit. You also have a built in 3-LED light which is good to about 12ft. The Standard Nightshot Plus System uses any ambient light available and Boosts it up. The IR System which works with Nightshot Plus gives you that Green "Most Haunted" view but enables you to see objects/people clearly up to 8ft away in Pitch Black.I've done Patrols in a pitch black Warehouse just using ...  Read the complete review
